Dear Parents, 

Our class vote regarding our next read-aloud was almost unanimous last week. We just finished the first book in the Boxcar Children series, and we are moving on to the next book in the series! We'll start, Surprise Island, this week. I'm so thrilled that the students are enjoying it so much. We're really hooked! 

The class earned a popsicle party for earning 20 class compliments from myself and others who have observed great behavior and character. We'll have our popsicle party on Monday! 

I can't believe this year is flying by! I'm really looking forward to another great week. 


Blessings in Christ, 
Kelli Poncy 


Important Info: 

Math: Please continue to review addition and subtraction facts with your child. You may find the link to flashcards here! Subtraction Facts and Addition Facts . Please find the addition/subtraction math review in your child's binder for the math assessment on Wednesday. 

Reading: I will begin OPG fluency checks beginning next week. These fluency checks will incorporate past OPG lesson material that has been taught. I will email more information about these to you. I will also be in communication with you soon about your child's DRA level. 

Science/History Journals: Please have your child bring their science/history journal on Wednesday of next week, so that I can take a completion grade. The expectation for journal responses is that students follow punctuation rules and capitalization rules, as well as write 2-3 sentences for their written responses. 

Spelling: Please add the phonogram cards we learned last week from our OPG lessons (ci, ti, si) to the review section of your child's spelling box. Please continue to review previous AAS Level 1 and 2 Key Cards. 

Organization of Binders: Just a reminder, work that is done at home should be filed behind the correct divider, unless I ask for it back. I do look through binders each week to see how students are doing! 

Memory Work: Our poem, "The Months" is fast approaching on 9/26. Please practice this poem daily with your child. 

Upcoming Dates: Class Popsicle Party: 9/14, Math Assessment: 9/19, School-wide Dodgeball Tournament: 9/21, Student Holiday: 10/8
